Paleo-Energetic

Paleo-Energetic

Adjective

Definition: A way of describing an innovation or technology that has been forgotten by history but whose purpose is still much needed.

The paleo-energetics (n) represent a discipline for energetic transition. Specifically looking back into history, the paleo-energetics, hope to fight a collective amnesia around technology in the field of energy highlighting inventions that offered alternative modes for energy production or conservation that have been forgotten or deliberately set aside by history. Resurfacing these paleo-energetic ideas and inventions into the public domain and our commons is a way of highlighting that the alternatives exist in front of us, just waiting for our collective minds to change and see themUsage: In 2014, reading 1882 archives , Eric Boros discovered press prints that chronicle a newspaper printed with solar energy. A full solar promise at a time when coal is still expensive and oil is nonexistent on the market.
This paleo-energetic invention remained in the shadows for many decades. Nowadays, a research team is even looking for these newspapers, obvious evidence of energetic transition prehistory era.
